Christmas Chess 960 Tournament

December 19 2024

It was great fun during our yearly Christmas Chess 960 tournament (aka Fischer Random or Freestyle Chess), where we had a good turnout of players from the club.

The format was a 6 round Swiss 5+0 Blitz playing Chess 960, with no castling. This promoted some agressive and creative play, where there was only one draw the whole tournament!

Congratulations to FM Jon Ady, who won the tournament with a perfect score of 6/6, and to Nisandu, who was the highest-placed junior.

Thank you to everyone who came to play, and to Martin for setting it up and running the tournament, and to Steve for donating the prizes.

We hope everyone has a great holiday period and a happy new year, and we look forward to the next Chess 960 event at the club.
